Show Your Courage

Hear the thunder rumbling above
Watch the lightning striking bright.
Don`t let your mind feel the fright
Show your courage, you`ll be alright.

Now that you`ve done it wrong
Just speak out what`s true
Don`t be afraid to feel the rue.
Show your courage, but just be you.

It’s all over and in the past
Now learn to forgive and forget
Don`t think of it as a haunting threat
Show your courage, as tough as it may get 

Just feel the joy or the pain
Learn to open up your heart
Don’t let emotions break you apart
Show your courage, inner conflicts you outsmart.

Let it be in a war or on the field
Strive to lead them for the win
Don`t let fear raise from within
Show your courage, fight with a grin.
 
To get through your life
It is not a path all would take
Don`t  forget it is your decision to make
Show your courage, through dusk and daybreak.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
